Définitions des termes

1. ↑ online dating. Online dating, as the term suggests, is a modern approach to finding potential romantic or sexual partners using the internet. It's a service, sometimes free and other times paid, that caters to different demographics and kinds of relationships. Users create profiles, which include personal details, photographs, and videos, to engage with other people. These services often provide matchmaking options, profile building assistance, and various communication tools. The online dating scene is continually changing, influenced by new trends and technological advancements. It's worth noting that matching algorithms in these services are only slightly more effective than random matching. Ultimately, the impact and challenges of online dating, as well as its role in fostering long-term relationships, continue to be subjects of ongoing debate.

2. ↑ App store ( App Store ) An "App Store" is a digital platform where users can browse and download various software applications, often referred to as 'apps'. Originating from the concept of commercial bulletin board services in the early 1980s, App Stores have significantly evolved over the years. This progression includes the introduction of the first software distribution catalog, the Electronic AppWrapper, and various Linux distributions with app repositories and package managers. The late 1990s marked the emergence of mobile app stores like BeDepot, Palmix, and i-mode. This evolution continued into the 21st century with the establishment of smartphone app stores and culminated in Apple's introduction of the App Store in 2008. Today, App Stores are a vital part of the digital ecosystem, providing a platform for developers to distribute their apps and users to discover and download them. They also act as a feedback channel between developers and users, with user reviews helping to improve app quality.
